Red-Golden pheasants without covered coop?

I'm thinking of getting some red-gold pheasants but we would have to let the, free range or they would have to stay in a small breeding coop all their lives if we did. I was wondering if free ranging them would be a good idea or if not. Thanks for any help!

I would highly suggest you keep them contained. We've only had one excape and I've never seen it again. If you do a little research you could find the suggest area of pen you need for them, and as long as you get close they should be fine. I've heard stories of them free ranging but you never know how long they will stay in the area, the coyotes might get some free food.
